Remote Retrieval

You can call your machine from any touch tone phone (or remote Group 3 fax machine) and use a Remote Access Code and other button presses in order to check the receiving status, retrieve fax messages or change settings.

To receive faxes or the Memory Status List at your location, you must call from a fax machine using touch tone. For convenience, you can retrieve faxes and the Status List from a touch tone phone by having them sent to a fax machine.

For example, if your hotel room does not have a fax machine, you can enter the number of the fax machine at the hotel’s Front Desk.

1 long beep—Fax message(s) No long beep—no messages
